For my project on the Watergate scandal, I aimed to create a storytelling music video that captured the rise and fall of political power during one of the most significant scandals in American history. I envisioned a dramatic, narrative-driven song that followed the timeline of events—from the initial break-in to the investigation and eventual resignation—while maintaining an engaging and emotional tone that would keep the audience interested.
- Script and Lyric Development: To develop the lyrics, I used ChatGPT to help structure the song into verses, a pre-chorus, and a chorus. The goal was to make the lyrics both historically accurate and rhythmically consistent. I refined the wording to clearly tell the story of the Watergate scandal, including key elements like the break-in, the investigation, and the role of journalists, while keeping it engaging as a song.
- Audio and Music Composition: For the music, I used Suno Ai found on ChatGPT, as my sound tools to match the tone of the lyrics. I aimed for a serious and dramatic style that would reflect the tension and importance of the historical event. The music was designed to support the storytelling and emphasize key moments in the song.
- Image Creation: I used Invideo Ai and sora to help generate prompts for visuals that matched the tone of the song. These visuals focused on themes like secrecy, government power, and investigation. After creating the images, I used additional tools to give them slight motion and make them more dynamic for the video.
- Editing and Assembly: Finally, I used video editing software from CapCut to combine the audio and visuals into a complete music video. I focused on timing the images with the lyrics and music to create a smooth and cohesive final product.Through the use of multiple AI tools, I was able to create a project that combines music, visuals, and historical storytelling. This project helped me better understand how AI can be used creatively while still maintaining accuracy and meaning. Overall, it showed me how technology can enhance both learning and artistic expression.
